“IconInc redefines what it means to ‘live like a student’ and promotes ‘living like an icon’. Leeds has three different universities, so there has always been huge demand for student housing in the city, with a particular demand in recent years for a superior standard of accommodation, noticeable amongst international students.

“The opening of The Edge offers students ultimate luxury living and revolutionises student living in our city.”

One of the first tennants will be Aru Patel, who was crowned Leeds Student Icon 2015 in a competition voted for by Leeds residents earlier this year. He has been awarded a free year’s tenancy in a luxury apartment at The Edge.
